Chapter 266: The powerful general

The sky was completely dark, and the sound of the Jin army pulling the long horns was desolate. The lights of the camps stretched for dozens of miles were everywhere, making the entire sky red.

The wreckage of several buildings still emitted smoke and fire, illuminating the open space in front of the pass as if it were ghosts. The shadowy figures were holding torches and wandering on the battlefield where the fierce battles were fought. Some crying could be heard vaguely. This was the Jin soldiers cleaning the battlefield. The Qin soldiers at the pass were gritting their teeth and watching. The Jin soldiers would find the bodies of the Qin soldiers and chop off their heads. This was the military merit of their troops. Some people were restraining the bodies of their own soldiers, but all the bodies of these soldiers who died in battle would gather together to burn them.

A pile of corpses were ignited, and the smoke immediately spread out. A stench mixed with burnt smell was so irritating that it was so irritating. Although the soldiers closed were full of hatred, they did not stop it. It was spring, and such a war was most likely to cause plagues, and burning was the best way.

Several half-naked wizards wearing complex headdresses and messy faces were jumping back and forth around the fire, and their mouths were emitting strange and unexplained syllables. The Qin soldiers from Hezhong looked a little strange, but the soldiers who guarded Tongguan all year round were used to this scene. This was the Jin people leading the warriors' souls to return to their hometown, which was similar to the Taoist monks and monks of the Han people doing rituals.

The Qin army had three thousand cavalry and less than two thousand returned. The fierce battle can be seen. Duan Qibao's troops penetrated three formations in a row, and killed one supervisor in front of the Jin army and seized two sides of the general flag. However, the casualties of his troops were the most serious. If it were not for Li Chixun, Li Gandang's troops would have struggled to rescue him, and this group of troops would have been trapped in the Jin army. However, when the enemy rushed forward, he killed the generals and seized the flag, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tongguan. After this rush, the front army suffered heavy casualties and was already depressed, so he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

...

"General Duan is invincible, wearing seven magic weapons, and kills the enemy leader. After this battle, the Golden Dog will be frightened in the future. Please ask the general to drink this cup..."

"General Duan is determined to win. He is worthy of being my Qin man, but he will give us some credit in the future. His military soldiers are holding their breath. Next time, General Duan should not fight with us if he has such a good job..."

"I heard that General Duan Qihu is General Duan's eldest brother? No wonder, no wonder, General Duan Qihu was the number one tiger general in Tongguan back then. Having a younger brother is enough to comfort him in the sky."

"So, they are all family members. The place in the river is good, but if a real man is alive, he should make a great contribution to the world. His daily life is not something that a real man can live. It is better to come to Tongguan. The prince lacks powerful generals like his brothers."

"General Chen, this is your fault. No one is worse than anyone else when you kill the golden dog, right? Quickly, I will punish myself for a cup. But what you said is not bad. There are heroes in the river, but heroes have to use their lives in Tongguan..."

The generals in the hall complimented each other in a few words. Duan Qibao had a strong chest exposed, with a few cotton cloth mixed with his upper body, and there was still blood. Compared to when he was in Pingliang, his face was a little fat. He was in Pingliang and was not too stubborn. In the end, he forced the dignified general to be dismissed for the people. He really made a comeback, but after he returned, he was idle and his life was not smooth. At the root, he violated the taboo of Emperor Zhengde, who was lenient and unscrupulous. He did not pursue this matter too much. He just seized his military power.

Now that King Jing has ascended the throne, he married the daughter of the Han family. With the protection of the Yongyi Bo, he at least let him lead the army to Tongguan. As long as he makes some contributions, he will probably have to come back.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Tongguan, he had such a great contribution. He showed his big face and was in a state of great pleasure. At this time, he was already drunk with red faces, but he was so sane that he did not take the opportunity to accept all the compliments. Instead, he laughed: "Duan Qibao is a rough man, but he cannot be praised by all the generals. If it weren't for the help of two Generals Li today, Duan Qibao would have died in front of the formation. The two generals, Duan Qibao would not say much. In the future, everyone will be brothers. Sooner or later, Qibao will have to return this life to the two..."

Li Dan was more envious and kept listening with a smile from the side, but Li Chixun was young and energetic. When he came out of seclusion, everyone had the credit for his contributions. Why did he only praise him Duan Qibao? In addition, he was from the Pingliang Imperial Army. After Duan Qibao made a fuss, everyone was ate and lost. A hundred thousand troops gathered in Pingliang. In the end, he did not take a step forward in Pingliang. He spent a lot of food and supplies. Not only did everyone lose face, the imperial court's reprimand also came one after another. After several months of trouble, his official position was not promoted but was demoted to a higher level.

These guys in the river patted their butts and left. Those who didn't know the truth outside said that Pingliang's imperial guards raised a group of cowards, especially their relationship with the Qingyang Prefecture Town Army also became more and more involved. Pingliang was a supporter from Qingyang. In the past, they would draw the imperial guards from Pingliang from time to time. Everyone regarded this as an opportunity for promotion. After that time, Qingyang never transferred people from Pingliang... Of course, he hated the prince's party even more. Now in Pingliang, if someone dares to say that he is involved with the prince, he might be killed in the street. But now the prince has fallen, and they are hanged by their grandmother and uncle. Seeing Duan Qibao so proud, he regrets that he is trying hard to save this bastard today?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel extremely angry. Even if he could calm down without retorting, how could he still laugh? He was drinking with a calm face. At this time, I felt a little relieved when I heard Duan Qibao say this, but the grudges were hard to resolve. I just raised my glass a little, raised my neck and drank it clean, and didn't say a word.

It was Li Gandang who stood up. He was nearly fifty years old, but there was no wrinkle on his face. His eyes were shining brightly, but he could win people's favor when he smiled. "General Duan doesn't have to be too humble. Today's battle has indeed opened my eyes. I am ashamed of myself. Even without us, I believe that with the courage of the general, he can kill seven in and seven out in the Jin army like Zhao Zilong in front of Changbanpo. Come on, this wine not only to General Duan, but also to the Qin soldiers who stained the blood on the battlefield..."

Speaking of this, first sprinkle the wine in the glass on the ground, then fill it up and drink it in one sip.

After hearing this, everyone called out to himself.

"Okay." Li Xuandao observed aside for a long time, and then he called out. He had seen it clearly. He could understand that Duan Qibao was brave and fearless, and he was chosen by Feng. It was rare to be successful in taking credit without being arrogant. It was rare to have talent. Li Chixun had to be a little more beautiful in his mind, but he was not bad at fighting in battle. As for Li Gan, he had heard of the general of the Qin Dynasty. When he saw him today, both his ability and his aura were the best choice. He was a person who could truly stand alone.

He stood up and said loudly: "Come on, for those good men who died in battle and for the three generals, they will win."

Everyone looked solemnly, and the noise in the hall suddenly disappeared. A cup was sprinkled on the ground and a cup was drunk. Li Xuandao said again: "I hope you all work together to kill the enemy and serve the country. You will be a good general of the Great Qin Dynasty and a loyal ghost of the Great Qin Dynasty when you die."

Everyone's faces were flushed by his words, and they wanted to get up and scream a few times before they could get satisfied.

After everyone sat down again, Li Xuandao then made an inadvertent statement and asked Li Gandang: "I have obtained the imperial court documents here. The reinforcements from Jingzhao arrived soon, and nothing else was there, but the leader was a fifteen-year-old man, who was called...what is it? By the way, the name is Zhao Shi, and he has not even taken the word "大" yet. General Li came from Chang'an, can he know the background of this person?"

Li Gandang's heart beat for a moment, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. The light in his eyes flashed and swept across everyone's faces. The generals were a little surprised. A few even snorted with contempt, and more people talked to others without caring about it, and thought to themselves that it seemed that the changes in Chang'an were not clear about the details here.

Thinking of this in his heart, he smiled and said, "The person Dashang mentioned is well-known in Chang'an..."

"Oh, please tell me in detail. Could it be that a fifteen-year-old boy really have any great skills?"

"General Zhao joined the army at the age of 11 and was brave and powerful. He first gained some credit for the battle of Qingyang Prefecture, and then returned to his hometown to suppress bandits. He was known as the Gongyi tiger. Later, he entered the current Shengshang Mansion and became the head of the guard. He won the title of the martial arts master and killed several Jurchen warriors. He has since become famous in Chang'an.

In the palace competition, Qin Kejian, the commander of the Eastern Palace Guard, was killed and was appointed as the deputy commander of the left guard of the Yulin Army. The prince planned to rebel, General Zhao led his troops to quell the rebellion, and killed dozens of guards in the inner court who participated in rebel, covered in blood, and had the merit of protecting the heavens. He was not fortunate to have a reputation for bravery. He heard that training was also good, and he was really a young hero. If you dare to be here, you have to congratulate the general in front of the tent, haha."

Li Xuandao laughed and didn't answer. He was familiar with these things, and there was nothing useful in it. This person is still known as the most favored minister of the dynasty. The seventh brother sent such a person to Tongguan? What does it mean? Does it mean that a young child thinks that it can play a big role? I really don't understand...
